The reader's MaxDepth of 64 has been exceeded

[scottstauffer-fc]

We ran pbitools.exe extract Dashbord XXXX.pbix and we get this error message.

If I take the line 1 and replace the period, I have 62 rows... hmm... each one creates a depth in the indentation?
Can we change the MaxDepth to 128? or 1024 or 8192?

:)

An unhandled exception occurred.

Ah, it is configurable!
I'll have to beg and plead for someone to make this change to issue a pull request.

Maximum depth

The latest version of Newtonsoft.Json has a maximum depth limit of 64 by default. System.Text.Json also has a default limit of 64, and it's configurable by setting JsonSerializerOptions.MaxDepth.

If you're using System.Text.Json indirectly by using ASP.NET Core, the default maximum depth limit is 32. The default value is the same as for model binding and is set in the JsonOptions class.

MaxDepth setting

This sample uses the MaxDepth setting to constrain JSON to a maximum depth when deserializing.

I think I found out where the change is needed - I just need to see what I can do make this happen!
